Joy is a form of rebellion.

I just got home from camping in the U.P. & am already dreaming about going back. Feeling grateful to be a part of an accepting family that does nerdy things like painting lake rocks & auctioning them off to each other. (My cherry pie rock art went for $9.10).

Hope you’re hanging in there.

I love the ocean.

Just got back from a week away in South Carolina. It felt like every minute was a highlight, but at the top: sunrise walks, moonlit walks, visiting the Mitchelville Freedom Park, trying the great Gullah cuisine, deep sea fishing (we released all 12 fish we caught), shore crabbing (we ate all those), playing in the sand, parking my bum in the ocean all day, finding shells, & having long conversations that went by in a snap.

Enormous hat tip to the restaurant crew for carrying the ship so well while we went away. ❤️💪
